I don't know what temp the control body is to be at but after mowing for a few hrs the bucket control is very hard, the valve body temp is about 145* and it's 85* outside.
Did you wind up servicing or replacing any of the control valves?

No not yet.
Kind of skidish spending $600.00 for the control valve. But there isn't much else it could be.
No rebuilt kit but ya can buy all the parts individually, except the spools I think they are called.Yeah, I hear ya. Is there no way to get it rebuilt?
Ok I purchased a new bucket control.
Hopefully putting it in one day this week.
Does anyone know the torque for the bolts would be?
Or where I could find info, where I bought it was useless.
There may be issues with the internals of the spool/control valves. Internal springs may have failed depending on how it is constructed. I believe you did mention one of the valves not returning to center position. Might have to take the control valves to a specialist unless you are willing to tackle yourself...? How many hours do you have on the machine?
